Chapter 558: Convincing people with virtue
"Manager Mangli, Yingxiang and Juanshang are here~"

A deep voice sounded outside the door, which brought Mang Li back to his senses from his work. He raised his head and looked at the open door: "Come in~"

As Mang Li finished speaking, three figures came in one after another.

The leader was quite tall, almost two meters tall, with broad shoulders and a thick waist, and a square face. Just standing there gave people a feeling of power and righteousness.

Zhong Zhentian, martial soul "Lava Troll", 28 years old, 49th level strong attack system fighting soul sect, energy refining martial artist, [Aoki Chamber of Commerce] Tiandou City resident guard team deputy captain.

Following Zhong Zhentian, two people came in. One was tall and thin, with a handsome face, a high nose bridge, and a pair of extremely sharp eyes that were unforgettable at first sight; the other was strong and muscular, with a pair of arms slightly longer than that of ordinary people. His appearance was ordinary, but he always had a smile on his lips, which made people feel good about him.

The eagle soars, and the family dies.

"Tell me~" Mang Li put down the documents in his hand, leaned back, and leaned on the back of the big chair. He looked at the three people with a pair of shrewd eyes and asked, "What happened? Why did you come here suddenly?"

Ying Xiang and Juan Shang looked at each other, and finally the former took a half step forward and whispered, "Director Mangli, Duke Iris hosted a banquet for Ning Fengzhi from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect last night, and the two sides seemed to have reached some agreement."

"Is that so~" Mangli's eyes flashed when he heard that, but his face remained calm and he asked, "Do you know what the specific agreement is?"

Ying Xiang shook his head and said, "I don't know the details, I just know it might be related to the Imperial Concubine Denise and the First Prince Xue Luoshu~"

"Okay, I understand~"

Mangli nodded without commenting, and did not say anything more on this topic. Instead, he said earnestly: "You two have good talents. Don't spend all your time on that. Practice more. Otherwise, even if you set up a family in the future, it will be difficult to develop. Even with the support of the [Storm Wolf Targaryen Family] and the [Aoki Chamber of Commerce]..."

Ying Xiang and Juan Shang both listened to Mang Li's advice seriously, but as to how much they took it to heart, only they themselves knew.

Mang Li knew the answer to this very well. After saying a few words, he stopped talking and took out two milky white jade bottles from the drawer of the desk beside him.

"Take it~" Mang Li threw two jade bottles to Ying Xiang and Juan Shang. When the two of them caught them, he spoke again, "This is what the city lord left behind before he left three days ago. It is a new product of the 'Wolf Soul Series', specially for you two to use."

Upon hearing that it was left by the city lord, Ying Xiang and Juan Shang subconsciously clenched the jade bottles in their hands. Zhong Zhentian next to them couldn't help but glance at the jade bottles in their hands.

Ever since the release of "Wolf Soul No. 1", the "Swift Wind Demon Wolf" and Wolf Thieves on Douluo Continent have faced a devastating disaster.

Countless soul masters took part in the hunting operation, and in less than two years, not only were the roving wolf bandits wiped out, but even the "Wind Demon Wolves" hiding deep in the soul beast forests and grasslands were turned into rare animals by the hunting of human soul masters.

Fortunately, just before the "Swift Wind Demon Wolf" was completely exterminated, the "Demon Wolf Breeding Base" was established, led by the [Aoki Chamber of Commerce] and supported by the seven top soul master families behind the [Great Fighting Soul Arena Alliance].

The base is located in a valley under a branch of the "Tianling Mountains". It is jointly operated by the [Aoki Chamber of Commerce] who provides technical personnel and the [Great Fighting Spirit Arena Alliance] who provides armed guards.

Today, the 'Wolf Soul Series' has been updated to the "Wolf Soul No. 5". Except for the first-generation "Wolf Soul No. 1" in the early years, the subsequent No. 2 to No. 5 were all born in the "Wuhun Research Institute" in Lingyun City.

As the leader of the development of the 'Wolf Soul Series', Ximen Tao made a fortune through commissions from the hot sales of the 'Wolf Soul Series' and was regarded as the 'Gospel Messenger' by the majority of men on the Douluo Continent.

What Ying Xiang and others envied the most was that Ximen Tao's talent for cultivation was obviously inferior to theirs, but now relying on his lavish cultivation method, piling up resources, and hiring sparring partners, he has surpassed them in strength, and not only has he achieved the status of a Huajin and Renzang martial artist in martial arts, he has also become a five-ring soul king in martial soul.

Holding the jade bottle tightly in their hands, Ying Xiang and Juan Shang made up their minds at the same time. They would continue to work hard to have a child. They must give birth to a genius with innate soul power above level seven!
At this time, Mangli's voice sounded again: "The city lord said that these two bottles of "Wolf Soul Replenishing Pills" have added some "Storm Dragon Wolf" bloodline power. You two should use them with your wives in the future. There is a chance that you will give birth to genius children with the "Storm Dragon Wolf" bloodline."

Three days ago, Ling Yi went to the Duke of Stormwind's mansion for a banquet. Before leaving, he absorbed a little blood of the three generations of ancestors, including Duke Aerys Targaryen. After leaving, he did a brief research and collected relevant data on the "Storm Dragon Wolf" to fill in the database.

After the research, the remaining bloodline materials were not wasted. After being refined, extracted and purified, they were incorporated into two new bottles of "Wolf Soul No. 6".

For other men on Douluo Continent, these two bottles of "Wolf Soul No. 6" only make them more durable and brave, without any fatigue afterwards. But for the men of [Storm Dragon Wolf Targaryen Family], this is a treasure-level existence.

It can be compared to the pollen of "Qiluo Tulip" to the Ning family of [Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect].

Although Yingxiang and Juanshang are not the owners of the "Storm Dragon Wolf" martial spirit bloodline, their wives are daughters of the Targaryen family's collateral branch. Even if their bloodline is a little weak, under the effect of these two bottles of enhanced "Wolf Soul Replenishing Pills", they may be able to give birth to children who can rival the main bloodline.

After getting such a precious secret medicine, Ying Xiang and Juan Shang couldn't sit still. They hurriedly greeted Mang Li and Zhong Zhentian, turned around and ran towards the Duke of Storm's Mansion.

The two of them had come together to [Aoki Chamber of Commerce] to purchase the 'Wolf Soul Series' products. This was the biggest confidence that allowed them to continue working hard over the past decade and give birth to dozens of children.

Mang Li didn't care about the departure of Ying Xiang and the others. He turned to Zhong Zhentian and said, "Tell Jiulan to prepare the 'Feng Ming No. 1 Set Meal'. I'll go to the palace later."

Zhong Zhentian heard this and responded loudly: "Yes!"

……

Half an hour later, Tiandou Palace.

Mang Li followed behind the captain of the palace guard Xu Yixiu and walked slowly towards the harem.

"Dong, dong dong, dong..."

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The slight knocking sound was heard by Mang Li and Xu Yixiu's hands one after another. The sound, which was already imperceptible, was completely drowned out by the footsteps of the two people and the metal friction of Xu Yixiu's armor. Apart from the two parties involved, no one else could have noticed it.

……

A few days later, at noon, a man and a horse rode on the broad official road, following the flow of people and horses, leisurely walking towards the north gate of Gengxin City.

From Tiandou City, the capital of the Tiandou Empire, to the metal capital located in the northwest corner of the Xingluo Empire, it is a distance of ten thousand miles. If Taxue ran at full speed, he could reach the destination within a day. However, Ling Yi was not in a hurry, so he let Taxue decide the speed on his own, and he never treated himself badly with three meals a day and a night's sleep.

"Brother Yi——?!"

In front of the city gate, the captain of the city guard, who was wearing metal plate armor, rubbed his eyes, and when he saw Ling Yi's handsome face clearly, he finally exclaimed in disbelief.

Ling Yi looked in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar yet somewhat aged face. He couldn't help but smile.

Xiang Guyun is an old acquaintance. When Ling Yi brought Yang Xueli to Gengxin City, the first old acquaintance he met was this comrade who escaped from the military of Shuimu Principality.

"Brother Yun, long time no see~" Ling Yi dismounted from the horse, walked forward holding Taxue's hand and greeted him.

"Yeah~" Xiang Guyun was a little excited, and smiled with some regret: "It's been a long time since we last met——"

Ten years ago, he would have walked up to Ling Yi, patted him on the shoulder, and joked with him, but now...

Looking at Ling Yi, Xiang Guyun felt a lot of emotions in his heart. Although they were standing face to face, only a few meters apart, he felt that there was a huge distance between them.

This is the difference in strength and status, which makes Xiang Guyun unconsciously stay away. Ling Yi, who noticed this, didn't say anything, but just raised his hand with a smile and punched Xiang Guyun in the chest lightly, just like many years ago: "Let's go, Brother Yun, we'll talk later when we have time~"

Xiang Guyun felt this familiar punch, and the unfamiliar feeling in his heart suddenly eased a lot. A smile appeared on his face, and he nodded and said, "Okay!"

Although, both Ling Yi and Xiang Guyun knew that this so-called "I'll be free later" was a long way off, Ling Yi still said so, and Xiang Guyun responded seriously.

Watching Ling Yi's back disappear in the crowd, a sergeant of the city guard came up to Xiang Guyun and asked in a low voice: "Boss Xiang, who is this? He is so handsome, and his demeanor is also extraordinary. He looks even more powerful than the prince of the Xingluo royal family who came a while ago--"

Xiang Guyun glanced at the sergeant who came closer and said calmly, "The first place in the latest issue of the Douluo Celebrity List."

"Hiss——!"*N
As soon as Xiang Guyun finished speaking, a series of inhalations were heard around him. It turned out that the other city guards who were listening had already figured out Ling Yi's identity.

Not to mention the city guards at the north gate, who were all excited because of Ling Yi's arrival. Ling Yi said goodbye to Xiang Guyun and walked on the street towards the [Blacksmith Association Headquarters] with his horse.

Looking around, you can see bustling scene everywhere. Although there are many people, everything is in order. There is a strange beauty of busyness, neatness and harmony.

In the central area of ​​Gengxin City, in front of a huge building more than 30 meters high, Ling Yi stopped and looked up at the black iron plaque with a hammer and chisel pattern on it just above the building.

[Blacksmith Association General Assembly]!
"Treading on the snow? Ayi?!"

On the street in front of the headquarters, an old man with white hair and beard and vigorous spirit was walking towards them from the other direction. He noticed Ling Yi's stop, and his eyes were immediately locked on Shenjun's stepping on the snow, and then he recognized Ling Yi.

"Senior Brother Ah Gu~" Ling Yi turned his head, looked at the old man who was walking over, and greeted him with a smile.

The person who came was Tiefutu's disciple, Lou Gao's senior brother, and Ah Gu, the fourth on the "Douluo Contemporary Master Craftsmen List" 'Bone Spirit Cold Fire'.

"It's really you~" Ah Gu walked closer, looking at Ling Yi's face which had not changed at all from more than ten years ago, and said with emotion: "If I hadn't seen Taxue, I wouldn't have dared to recognize you~"

"Uncle Ling Yi~"*2
At this moment, the two young men following Ah Gu greeted him at the same time.

"Cheng Yun, Yi Shui." Ling Yi nodded in response with a smile.

These two were not strangers, Mo Chengyun and Qiu Yishui. The former was a new disciple accepted by Lou Gao a few years ago, and the latter was originally a student of [Tiangong College]. He had previously won the third place in the forging subject in the first 'Continental Advanced Soul Master College Unified Examination' and was now Ah Gu's disciple.

The 5th floor of the Blacksmiths Association, foundry room number 1.

When he saw Ling Yi for the first time, Lou Gao's eyes lit up at first, but then he turned his head away angrily.

"Senior Brother, are you still angry~" Ling Yi walked into the door with a smile, followed by Ah Gu, Mo Chengyun and Qiu Yishui.

"Hmph!" Lou Gao stuck out his neck and breathed out through his nostrils, with the four big words "I'm very unhappy" written all over his round face.

In response, Ling Yi chuckled and shook his head, then slapped the Ruyi Treasure Bag at his waist with his right hand. A dark brown wooden box appeared in his hand with a flash of light blue light.

"Here~" Ling Yi handed the wooden box in his hand to Lou Gao and said with a smile: "This is a gift from your registered disciple."

"Gift?" Lou Gao turned around and looked at the wooden box in front of him. Curiosity flashed in his eyes, but under Ling Yi's gaze, he snorted proudly and turned his head away with disdain: "I have no relatives or friends here. If I hadn't given it some pointers for your sake, I wouldn't have this disciple..."

“Really?” Ling Yi tilted his head and looked at Lou Gao and said, “This is a good thing that it got by robbing a big force. If it were someone else, even if it was the [Haotian Sect], unless Tang Chen took action, even if the entire sect came together, they might not be able to get it—”

As he spoke, Ling Yi opened the wooden box in his hand, revealing an irregular black sphere the size of a child's head inside.

As the wooden box was opened, a new smell suddenly appeared in the foundry room, which was originally filled with the smell of iron filings and charcoal fire.

The aroma of wine?!
"Sniff sniff~"

Lou Gao couldn't help but turn his head, looking at the black sphere in the wooden box with his round eyes. His nose twitched, and he subconsciously asked, "What...what is this?"

"Tartrate~" Ling Yi shrugged and stuffed the wooden box and the black sphere into Lou Gao's hand. This time, the other party did not pretend to be reserved and refused, but took it naturally.

"Tartrate?" Lou Gao lowered his head to look at the black sphere in the wooden box. After a close observation, he found that this irregular sphere was not actually a black stone, but an accumulation of golden crystals. It was only because there were too many of them and the color settled that it looked black.

"If I remember correctly, isn't tartar a crystal impurity in wine? And it should be white~"

"These two are two different things~" Ling Yi explained: "Old wine accumulates into paste after more than 20 years, and becomes stone after 100 years. The one in your hand is the wine paste that has accumulated for 8,000 years and solidified into stone."

Lou Gao blinked when he heard this. Although he didn't understand, the prefix "eight thousand years" alone was enough to explain the preciousness of this crystal stone. He immediately asked, "How do you use this thing?"

Ling Yi was not surprised by Lou Gao's change of attitude, and said with a smile: "Put it in a water tank, add clean water and soak it for an hour, and you can get a tank of second-class second-grade fifty-year-old "Monkey Wine."

"Fuck!" Lou Gao's eyes widened to the size of walnuts, staring at the black stone in his hand that no longer smelled of wine: "That's it? A jar?!"

"More than one tank~" Ling Yi shook his head and continued, "I have already soaked a hundred tanks in Lingyun City, all of which have a capacity of 500 kilograms. It looks like it will be more than enough to soak thousands of tanks, not to mention 10,000 tanks."

"Remember, the longer you soak this stuff, the older the "Monkey Wine" you get will be. But there is a limit, the highest is about 800 years. Soaking it for about two days and two nights will be enough. Soaking it for longer than that will be useless~"

Listening to Ling Yi's words, Lou Gao didn't bother to question why Ling Yi used this "tartar" first, but asked curiously: "This treasure is really Thai... cough! Which guy got it?"

"Yeah~" Ling Yi nodded naturally: "Not far from its hometown, there is a large group of "Iron Arm Ape". It went to the "Iron Arm Ape" to discuss with the leader of the group. If it wants to conquer the apes with virtue, the "King Kong Iron Arm Ape" broke off a piece of the "Big Tartrate" passed down from its ancestral family as a gift."

When Lou Gao heard Ling Yi's casual words, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

If he remembered correctly, on the handle of the "Xuanhuang Earth Mother Golden Hammer" of the "Titan Giant Ape", Ling Yi engraved the word "Virtue" and said something in a very evil way, "Conquer people with virtue".

Ah Gu, Mo Chengyun and Qiu Yishui, who were listening to the interaction between the two, were all confused and felt like their brains were not enough.

If they heard correctly, it seemed that Lou Gao had previously taught a registered disciple, and the other party asked Ling Yi to give Lou Gao a thank-you gift.

If you only look at the above sentence, everything is normal. A young blacksmith with a grateful heart is just giving a thank-you gift to Lou Gao.

Even though Master Ling, the most famous figure in Douluo Continent today, was commissioned in the middle, it was because the other party had a strong network of contacts and background.

But what the hell are this "Iron Arm Ape" tribe and "King Kong Iron Arm Ape King"? !
Is “Iron-Armed Ape” the famous thousand-year-old soul beast?

King of the "King Kong Iron-armed Ape"? Isn't this the title of the "Iron-armed Ape" after it breaks through ten thousand years of cultivation?
In addition, a large-scale "Iron-Armed Apes" tribe must have at least multiple units of king-level "Iron-Armed Apes", and the leader of the tribe must have at least 50,000 years of cultivation, right?

Not only could he entrust the famous Master Ling to deliver the thank-you gift, but he could also snatch something from the "King Kong Iron Arm Ape King"? How is this different from snatching food from a tiger's mouth?
Where does this little blacksmith come from? Why is he so wild?
